  2. I've only chalked up one myself, but it was a great experience and pleasure to meet so many like minded people. Re the BBQ, definitely not at night - but might win friends in the morning with bacon sandwiches provided you are well away from the solar imagers/observers (thinking smoke and ash) - gas grill might be a safer bet.

      It was lovely, calm, clear and the lightest breeze. The sky got nicely dark and I could see a good swathe of the milky way. Tthough despite good transparancy the seeing was only average. Almost perfect might be a fairer assesment. Only problems; the mount decided to let me down with some nasty tracking issues and the watering system in the adjacent bowling green came on around 01:30hrs and gave the kit a heavy misting!

    Some odd FPN/banding on the camera, so layers were heavilly stretched. Very pleased though for a first attempt at this object, despite some passing cloud
